The Pandemic Partnership that Bloomed from Social Gardening with Kerri Sitrin & Lauren Westerman
The dynamic duo behind this “pandemic partnership” are my guests this week, Kerri & Lauren. They’ve been friends and colleagues for years, and it just made sense over these past two years to join forces. Their skill sets complement one another, and they are able to provide the best possible services for their clients by leaning into their strengths and relying on the other’s expertise depending on the task at hand.
We learn in this episode that Lauren was working for DiBrunos in their catering department back in 2015, and Kerri and I both happened to use them as our wedding caterers that year. Kerri and Lauren had already met at that point, but I wouldn’t have the pleasure of meeting Kerri until 2019. I reconnected with Lauren when I started MG the Venue Specialist, because I knew I needed to connect with wedding planners as a venue sourcing specialist.
Additional Topics Include:
💗 Selfless Networking & Social Gardening
🌻 The Value of Systems and Processes

🌻 The Importance of a Wedding Planner Because the Couple IS the Host of the Party
💍 Venue Booking Trends Have Changed
💗 The Extra Work that Goes into Covid Era Weddings
